Quote: Originally posted by Tentz on 18/2/2013It sounds like your problem is bulkhead regulator then, they are known to fail prematurely. Bottle top regulators will last for yrs without problems.
Just to clarify and although it's the Truma supplied 'GOK' twin stage regulator failing, it is not the fault of what is, the regulators superior design.
Further, and although single stage bottle, or, indeed bulkhead mounted, let the contamination pass through, so not failing themselves, this is not to say more expensive damage is then not caused elsewhere in the system?!
Because it is! and that has been the case long before 2003 when this system was adopted?!!
So in this case and if it is the reg at fault, the clue might well be the act of changing the bottle, as it's from here the 'oil' contamination comes that wrecks the Truma bulkhead mounted regulator.
My Advice then is to minimise any disturbance of the bottle while travelling from buying it to fitting it, particularly avoid laying the bottle on it's side.
Finally and before fitting, crack open and shut the valve a couple of times to clear anything that might be trapped in the neck below the valve.
This way any oil that might be within is more likely left where it's settled in the bottom of the bottle and out of harms way
